DAY 028
SOMETHING ON THE WIND
Another day dawns in the fair town of Mathias. The sky is a blanket of light grey, tiny specks of snow lightly falling as the hours pass. It makes the town feel almost quaint, the scenery quite peaceful in its winter garb. But beneath the veneer of peace there is a pervasive dread of something approaching. Something inevitable is on the wind, something that has come before and will come again...
Throughout the day, residents will consistently experience feelings of deja vu, that sense of having done or seen or said something before that can never be fully recalled. It happens again and again, tugging at the back of their minds, the memories just frustratingly out of reach.
Residents will also notice a note pinned around town:
The note can be found on the town hall's bulletin board and the front doors of many town establishments, including the Grey Gull, the library, and the boarding house. At the bottom of the note it is specified that the meeting will take place "tomorrow, when the sun is over the town square."NEW ARRIVALs
The newest arrivals to Mathias will wake on the frozen lawn of the town hall atop a snowdrift. They had best hurry inside and get warmed up before hypothermia sets in.
DAY 029
A GATHERING OF MINDS
In the late afternoon when the sun hangs over the town square, residents will converge upon the Town Hall, where a larger meeting room has been filled with rows of chairs. After most people arrive, John Constantine stands and addresses the room... and then sits again. A grand introduction, truly.
Residents are encouraged to share their experiences and information they have gathered in the town while holding questions until the end. Rather than getting tangled in the intricacies of each person's tale, it seems better to absorb the broad strokes and try to connect the puzzle pieces to get a look at the bigger picture that is the mystery of Mathias Township.THE INEVITABLE
As the meeting comes to an end and residents begin to converse among themselves, the feeling of something approaching and sense of deja vu begin to build, becoming almost oppressive as night falls. An hour after nightfall, residents learn the reason for these sensations that cease immediately as the earth begins to rumble. The buildings shake, furniture tumbles, and breakables crash to the floor as the earthquake sets in without warning.
The tremors last around a minute, far longer than a normal earthquake, and then the town settles again. There are no aftershocks, which many may note is quite unusual. Residents will find quite a bit of mess in their homes and other locations around town, but there is no structural damage to be found despite the intense shaking.
CONDITIONS UPDATE — THE WEATHER is fairly typical of a northern winter. The sky is grey, the temperature hovers just below freezing during the day (colder at night), and a light snow falls during both days. Residents should bundle up when going outside and not venture too far into the dark night...
— THE FOG remains blocking the paths in the forest, urging residents to stay huddled within the town proper, and it also now blocks the northern section of town, beginning just before where residents know the chasm in the earth to be. Venturing into the fog is ill-advised.
— DISAPPEARANCES continue with Sherlock Holmes being the latest victim of the town's unsettling whims.OOC NOTES — TOWN MEETING STRUCTURE The town meeting section of the log is designed for characters to share any information they would like to with the other residents in attendance. ICly, characters should "hold questions until the end" with the intent that they can get the Big Picture first and connect any dots they see. OOCly, this means players should post their character's information sharing tag in the Meeting section, but the actual conversation about whatever they share happens after the meeting proper in the Mingle section. That way, these conversations can happen however players prefer, be that one-on-one or in small or large groups.
— HOUSING Please be sure your character's housing arrangements are up to date on our list. We're missing a few people and it really helps to know where everyone is for planning. Frequent updates for wandering characters are perfectly acceptable.
— THE BULLETIN BOARD has been updated. Players should note there is a change to the wall near the board that may be of great interest to some residents.

Things are about the same as they've been. Door's still locked, people are still coming and going... Someone broke all our dishes, though. I've been raiding houses for coffee mugs so everyone can stay properly caffeinated.
[ Coffee, after all, is all that's keeping most of them going. Well, those who haven't been resorting to the moonshine, anyway. ]
no subject
[ It's easy to see the way Claire's mind immediately starts working, trying to consider what sort of poltergeist the boarding house might have acquired, and then she purses her lips. ]
I was about to make a joke about ghosts, but... guess Klaus confirmed there are no ghosts in this place, huh.
[ Still weird to think, to be honest. If people died here... there really should be ghosts. Not just in Claire's questionable expertise, but also because really, it'd just be polite for there to be something tangible and familiar in this place. Just one thing. ]
I'm happy to go on a dishware raid with you if anything's still missing, or if that happens again.
no subject
Offering the younger woman a smile, she nods. ]
Thanks, that'd be great actually. I've gotten a few things but some of the houses around here... [ Does she even need to say it? ] It'd be nice to have an extra set of hands, even one that lost a fight with a mirror.
no subject
[ Claire grins, then purses her lips and shifts her weight. ]
Listen... You know Coulson, right? Can you tell me if he's okay? Dean mentioned he got hurt and it sounded pretty serious, but he couldn't give me anything else, like whether he... uhm. Survived.
[ The tough girl act slides sideways a little bit. Claire usually puts up a pretty good front of being tough, but there are moments when her 20 years shine through, when there's something unsure and almost afraid in her eyes. Like when she worries about someone and expects bad news. ]
no subject
He's okay. I promise, he didn't die again.
[ Hopefully, Claire doesn't know just how many times Coulson has died before. That... That's a lot for anyone to handle. You'd think it would get easier to process but it just gets harder, because losing someone you care about is never easy. ]
no subject
Again. ]
The fog, huh? Shit... Sorry. I should have known that. I was a little...
[ She broke down. She stopped functioning. She dug her own corpse up and gave herself a hunter's funeral. She wept in Ellie's arms, and in Dean's, and alone in her bed.
She stopped being able to hold it together.
Claire isn't fine - never is. Just, she's usually better.
Something dark at the back of her mind reminds her that she nearly got herself and Coulson killed out in the cold in those early days, too. ]
You got some help looking after him?
no subject
What's done is done though. ]
Yeah, he's good. [ After a moment, she adds: ] He probably wouldn't say no to someone checking on him, though. He might seem like he always has it together, but he's just stumbling in the dark like the rest of us.
[ At least they're in the dark together. ]
no subject
[ It gnaws at her, that someone she's... maybe not close to, but someone she knows, not only got hurt but died... and Claire was too focused on her own corpse to become aware.
This... this is why she always tries to keep people at arm's length. Why she always tries to work alone.
And then she likes people anyway, and then they get hurt or killed. ]
I'll... make sure to check in on him. Thanks. For letting me know.
no subject
Of course. [ Daisy shifts her weight from one foot to the other, feeling that gnawing sense of dread start to overwhelm her again. She takes a deep breath and decides to give in instead of fighting it. The last thing anyone needs is for her to get so anxious that she starts quaking. ] Look, this place is doing something and getting to me, so I need to... Anyway, we'll catch up soon, okay? Go on that raid.
no subject
[ With her good hand, Claire claps Daisy on the shoulder.
Who can't relate to this mess of a place burrowing under their skin, like something living and breathing and relentless, fog that never quite leaves the corners of your eyes and an opressive mood that darkens everything.
And no internet to pass the time. ]
Take care.
